Comparison of dose length product and image quality of a biphasic whole-body polytrauma CT protocol with and without the automatic tube voltage selection

CONCLUSION: Combination of ATVS and ATCM in polytraumatic 2PWBCT leads to no significant radiation load reduction compared with ATCM only but does lead to a slight degradation of image quality. The radiation load is significantly reduced if the patient has their arms behind the head when scanning, regardless of the activation of ATVS.PMID:38445394 | DOI:10.5507/bp.2024.004
